Vegas is filled with all kinds of people and cultures, and in September, they donate a day to Asian Heritage. Join the fun with origami and karaoke, or bring the kids for a children’s lantern parade.

The Las Vegas BikeFest is not just for bikers looking for new and classic?Harleys. Many non-bikers also enjoy the demo rides, art galleries, and road shows.

Are you a fan of wine, or do you prefer beer? Well you don’t have to choose when you go to the Grapes and Hops Festival. Start October with a brewski or a glass between friends, coworkers, or somebody new. There will be a large selection to choose from, courtesy of some of Las Vegas’ finest restaurants around. As with any time when drinking alcohol, it usually calls for a grease layer, and at the Spring’s Preserve Grapes and Hops Festival, those same great restaurants will be providing food as well. All of this is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, with proceeds going to “Par for The Cure.”

Las Vegas has a little bit of everything, and NASCAR is no exception. With the ability to camp out near the track, hardcore fans can practically live at the LVMS?for this event. Although it’s a one-day event, the camp lots are open for three, meaning before and after the race, you can have a little family outing, and make a weekend out of it. However, the big spectacle of course is watching the top drivers of NASCAR race for the checkered flag on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Mug of mead m’lady? Mid-October, Vegas takes a large step back into the days of the Renaissance. Here, many like to cosplay in an effort to fit in with the many wanderers and barders roaming the land. Others simply wish to travel to the festival for the many attractions and activities going on. However, we suggest you dress up and enter the age of chivalry costume contest.

(October 15th ? 17th, 2015)

Vegas isn’t all “party until you go blind.” Many intellectual minds also like to gather here for conferences and meetings, one of which being a celebration of literature ?

More than 10,000 people attend the event every year, looking to join one or more of several programs devoted to sharing resources, advancing one’s craft, and all things literary.

Every year, to benefit a non-profit organization that supports people with intellectual disabilities, thousands of people dress up like Ol’ Saint Nick for a good run in Vegas. People can walk a mile, or perform a 5k run, but either way, as long as they’ve got red and white on, they’re good to go. Last year, the streets were flooded with Santa copy cats; some have come to call this event ?Kringle Palooza.?

During the month of the Winter Holidays, it’s hard not to find something to do in Vegas ? imagine that. There are two popular ice rinks open from late November to early January –?one at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and the other at Caesars Palace. The Christmas Tree at Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical gardens is a real treat for a stroll through some of the most impressive Christmas decorations and displays. Of course you can get some shopping done if you haven’t already, but there’s the strong temptation to treat yourself to some free chocolate at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory Holiday Cactus Garden (get in before 7pm).

Much like the Santa Run, the people of Las Vegas dress up like reindeer and go for a jog. Run a half marathon, a 10k, or a 5k, whichever you please, and have some holiday fun. It’s a small-time tradition, only in its 3rd year, but the run is?steadily growing with every Christmas. It’s?all in the benefit for ?Toys for Tots.? What better way to celebrate the holidays than giving a child a gift they might otherwise not have without your help? If you’re not good with choices, you can also donate money for a toy purchase. At the end of the race, the PKWY Tavern will have a small after-party for some holiday cheer, food, and drinks.

For New Year’s Eve, the entire Vegas Strip gets shut down for the party of the year. Last New Year’s, over a quarter million people were partying it up to ring?in 2015.
